How to set water hardness
* only before the first wash or if
the water hardness has been
changed
Switch on the appliance
- Select the 2nd programme “P2” - consult the table of programmes.
- Press the START button for at least 5 seconds until the START indicator lamp flashes.
- The water hardness setting is shown on the display (if present) or the START button flashes.
- With each successive touch of the START button the setting increases and when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.
- The appliance must be switched off to memorise the new setting.
Even if you use tablets which include salt,
you must still add salt since such
detergents are not effective enough at
softening hard water.
Water hardness level is factory set for
medium hard water (a number “4” is
shown on the display or the START
indicator lamp flashes 4 times).

water hardness
is...

Adding rinse aid
(not necessary when you use tablets). How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator
Daily use
The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit for the duration of several wash cycles. If the
water hardness level falls within category (soft),
no
salt is required.
Salt indicator
(depending on
the model)
The indicator lamp on the control panel lights
up when SALT NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
orange: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Rinse aid indicator (depending on model)
The indicator lamp on the control panel lights up when RINSE AID NEEDS TO BE
ADDED.
dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers.
Immediately
wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly d ry : incr e a s e the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid
setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programmes. In the case of shorter programmes, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend
to form excess suds.
